Imaging of Neurovascular Compression Syndromes: Trigeminal Neuralgia, Hemifacial Spasm, Vestibular Paroxysmia, and Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia.
Neurovascular compression syndromes are usually caused by arteries that directly contact the cisternal portion of a cranial nerve. Not all cases of neurovascular contact are clinically symptomatic. The transition zone between the central and peripheral myelin is the most vulnerable region for symptomatic neurovascular compression syndromes. Trigeminal neuralgia (cranial nerve V) has an incidenc...
متن کاملSpectrum of trigeminal neuralgia.
BACKGROUND Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a very painful condition characterized by paroxysmal shock like pain in the distribution of one or more branches of trigeminal nerve caused by neurovascular conflict at the root entry zone of trigeminal nerve. This study was conducted to analyse the demography and pattern of TN in our setup. METHODS This descriptive study was conducted in the Oral Surge...
متن کاملTrigeminal neuralgia: differences in magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of neurovascular compression between symptomatic and asymptomatic nerves.
OBJECTIVES Neurovascular compression (NVC) of the trigeminal nerve is the primary cause of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) but is known to occur in both symptomatic and asymptomatic nerves. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the relationship between the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings regarding the site of NVC and the manifestation of TN symptoms. METHODS In 147 patients with uni...
متن کاملSignificance of neurovascular contact in classical trigeminal neuralgia.
Neurovascular contact is considered a frequent cause of classical trigeminal neuralgia and microvascular decompression with transposition of a blood vessel is preferred over other surgical options in medically refractory patients with classical trigeminal neuralgia. However, the prevalence of neurovascular contact has not been investigated in a representative cohort of patients with classical t...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia.
Percutaneous balloon compression is a simple and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. It is especially useful in patients with first-division pain because it does not injure the myelinated fibers that mediate the blink reflex. It is most helpful in patients with pain that has spread across multiple divisions because it does not require multiple lesions. It is also helpful in patients w...
